Rhythmic Gymnastics Manitoba Inc. has been providing leadership and programs to rhythmic gymnastics community in Manitoba since our founding in 1969. The organization was incorporated in 1985.
It is our Mission to:
“Support, promote rhythmic gymnastic programs and create opportunities for the development of recreational and competitive rhythmic gymnasts in Manitoba.”
We believe the best way to achieve this goal is to;
· increase RGM's public notoriety,
· create vibrant athlete centered environment with sense of ownership and belongingness,
· bring a uniformity/unity between the Association and the individual clubs,
· provide standards for programs aimed at recreational, competitive and performing rhythmic gymnastics participants,
· provide quality programs for training and certification of rhythmic gymnastics coaches, judges, minor officials and music, scoring and video technicians,
· host local, provincial and national recreational, performing and competitive events, and
· build a dedicated, knowledgeable volunteer base,
